gre. Henry J. McFadden was in town
a week ago and gave US the following
particulars of
WOLF LODGE DISTRICT
Where considerable work has been done
on different mines during the winter.
MeFaddcn reports the snow twenty
inches in the valley which will all disap-
pear with the first chinook aud then there
will be bustling times in the camp On the
BALTIMORE,
Owned by McFadden and Phillips, the
tunnel has been run fifty.6ve feet and
now shows good ore, some Of which we
were shown. They expect to ,un TWEEN.
ty feet more before opening the vein fully.
THE SUNNY SIDE,
Owned by Brecn and Hammell, has a
shaft down Twelve feet, showing finely in
salena and carbonates. The same com.
pany own the Carbonate from which
equally good prospects are being obtained.
TIE GREY woLE,
Belonging to Mr.. Walters, engineer of
the Occur d 'Alene steamer, Here a sur
face cross-cut eight feet deep shows fine
ore; the tunnel to cut the vein at depth
is in twenty five feet.
THE SILVER KING,
Owned by Ollcar, surface cross-cut
twenty feet deep and eight feet wide,
shows good ore.
1t will be remembered Wolf Lodge
camp is the extreme western point at
which our mineral belt has been opened
1t lies between Wardner and Fort Coeur
d'Alene, some thirty -four miles from the
former and sixteen from the latter. From
this fact much interest centers on the
camp as proving the continuity Of our
great mineral system from that point to
Mullan, near the Montana boundary line
fifty.six miles in direct course due east
where some Of tho best mines 10 the
couatry exist. At Wolf Lodge, this
time, we have only mentioned few Of
the existing mines, such only as McFad.
den knew work had been continued on
There must at least be twenty mines
there be.ides these mentioned, and all iu
an equal or better state of development.
Still, as it exists, it proves our mineral
system developed in unbroken continuity
from creek to creek for fifty-eix miles.
What other mining region 10 America or
the world can say the same thing?
YREKA DISTRICT.
THE SIERRA NEVADA.
The road from Wardner to thi. great
mine will not be thoroughly opened be-
fore to-day or to morrow, when the ship
ping Gre will commence. On receipt Of
the returns buzz Of excitement will 20
through the whole Of the business and
mining ceuters Of the union.
THE TYLER.
WORK has been steadily pursued on
this mice, one Of the Bunker Hill and
Sierra Nevada group, all winter, and last
week ore was brought into town by Geo.
McAuley that establishes its reputation
and future beyond controversy.
THE RICHMOND,
Situated intermediate with the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mines, has q tunnel Of
200 feet, and the impression in the foot
wall is no1 being cut The company ID
. strong one and success in the Rich
mond, which is sure to come sooner OF
later, will contribute largely to the ad.
vancement of Wardner.
EVOLUTION DISTRICT.

on Elk creek that may prove Of great
importance hereafter. Il i the discovery
Of another gold vein richer than the
Goldsmith. It vs. discovered By / msu

BIG CREEK.
William Kent, who owls some fni
interests on the upper portion Of ID,
creek, was in town last week and give,

This, with the late report from the lowe
portion, makes the creek rise in repu
tation rapidly.
